The security of mobile business applications based on mCRM
2020
A development of mobile technologies, and their common use in business, creates new challenges for people dealing with data security in the organization. This paper explores the types and nature of threats to the enterprise that result from the widespread use of business applications on smartphones (e.g. mobile CRM). The analysis has been focused on smartphones and tablets running on the Android operating system. We used STRIDE - a threat modeling technique commonly used to detect vulnerabilities in software security. We propose its modification to better design and implement solutions for the security of mobile devices. We also used the Data Flow Diagram and the Attack Tree concept to anal…
Criticità della tutela dei dati scientifici nel regolamento sui nuovi alimenti anche alla luce della disciplina in materia di benessere degli animali
2021
Il regolamento (UE) 2283/2015 sui novel food rappresenta un’evoluzione nella protezione dei dati scientifici relativi ai nuovi prodotti alimentari. La normativa, sviluppata sul modello offerto dal regolamento (UE) 1924/2006 in materia di indicazioni nutrizionali e sulla salute, garantisce una protezione quinquennale dei dati scienti ci e delle prove pro- dotte dal richiedente in sede di domanda di autorizzazione di un nuovo prodotto ex art. 10 del regolamento (UE) 2283/2015. La previsione di un termine quinquennale di tutela se, secondo taluni, può risultare troppo breve per rappresentare un vero incentivo per compiere investimenti in ricerca e sviluppo da parte delle imprese; d’altra part…
Application of the Article 28 (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation in contemporary Software as a Service (“SaaS”) business.
2019
For the purposes of this thesis, regulatory requirements associated with the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) are subject to interpretation in the context of SaaS delivery models widely adopted by prominent SaaS providers. In addition, the author argues that, multiple parties processing personal data leads to problems in determining the correct processing role. Thereby, parties may struggle in meeting the requirements of Article 28 (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Failure to ensure that processing is covered by the proper DPA is regarded as an infringement of the GDPR. For that reason, the thesis seeks to stress out complications associated with structuring DPA’s and pro…
Electronic identity verification: personal data protection challenges and risks

This work highlights the clash of GDPR, eIDAS Regulation and PSD2 Directive, as well as tackles challenges of implementation in practice, specifically the challenges of securing personal data whilst ensuring an electronic identity. A comparative analysis on practical case studies which are concerned with electronic identity verification, electronic identity establishment and use electronic identity verification in the process of providing services is carried out in order to understand how such businesses tackle personal data challenges, how successfully and to what manner. The work concludes with findings of legal uncertainty between all three regulatory acts, as they lack unified definitio…

New Modes of Regulation for Health and Safety: Post-Enlargement Policy Perspectives for the European Union
2006
The recent joining of ten new member states to the European Union, eight of which are former communist countries, has reopened inherent tensions in current European Union (EU) policy-making on safety and health in the workplace. These spring from seemingly incompatible objectives; the need to ensure broad EU member state compliance with regulation, around agreed minimum standards through active regulatory enforcement, and the promotion of “softer” voluntary initiatives in the management of workplace risks and hazards in order to create “a culture of prevention.” The present EU strategy which ends in 2006, seeks to secure a balance between both sets of objectives. However, with respect to t…
The challenge of personal data protection in the era of digital economy
2018
The actual impact and effectiveness of the GDPR that comes into effect on May 25, 2018 will only be evident in the course of next years. Today, however it is crucial to understand how will the GDPR change the EU data protection playfield and if the new regulation is capable to address growing personal data and privacy challenges emerging from further digitalisation in the long term. The research question of this paper is: How capable and effective is the newly adopted EU data protection legislation to address the growing future privacy and data protection concerns associated with expansion of the Digital Economy?
